What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of custom clear aligners that gently move teeth into place without brackets or wires. At Village Dental in The Villages, FL, Invisalign® offers a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth while you keep your daily routine—eat what you like and brush and floss normally.

Invisalign uses nearly invisible, removable trays to gradually improve tooth alignment. Each aligner is worn for about 1–2 weeks before moving to the next in the series, guiding your teeth toward your goal smile.

How Invisalign Works

We start with a friendly consultation and a precise digital scan—no messy impressions—to discuss your goals and confirm candidacy. From there, we design a custom plan that maps each tooth movement and provides a preview of expected results, then craft snug-fitting aligners for your smile. You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything besides water, and for oral care; some cases use small, tooth-colored attachments to guide certain movements. Short check-ins help us monitor progress, and we can add refinement trays if needed to fine-tune your smile. When active treatment ends, retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions.

Invisalign vs. Braces

Invisalign uses clear, removable trays to straighten teeth, while braces use fixed brackets and wires. With aligners, you can take them out to eat and brush, so there are fewer food limits and easier hygiene. Most people find aligners more comfortable, with only mild pressure when switching trays. Braces can be better for certain complex cases; we’ll recommend the option that fits your needs.

• Appearance: Clear aligners vs. brackets and wires.
• Eating: Remove aligners; no long food-restriction list.
• Hygiene: Brush and floss normally; no special threaders.
• Comfort: Mild pressure when switching trays; fewer sore spots.
• Case type: Invisalign treats many crowding, spacing, and bite issues. For complex cases,
  we’ll recommend the best option for you.
